Well, the new year is coming in strong. Alex arrived on Tuesday November 22 with Li at the San Francisco Airport. After over two years of battling with the INS, the American consulate finally released Alex from the country of China, to the Jungles of San Francisco, America. Wow, how much more will we have to go through now!

Holidays were spent in Portland with Turkey Day being the first one Alex was able to attend. With traditional hand made collah bread, made by my sister, we all started the new tradition of breaking bread before settling in to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.
